SSL issue - really need help

[vichon]

I am really stuck here and would like some help with getting my SSL working properly. I've been reading the forums for a few days and have posted elsewhere with no avail. I am somewhat new to OSC and am working in a test environment. Here is the scenario:

 

I have a test server running FC5 and using Ravencore to setup virtual hosts for my clients.

I have installed OSC and it works great in standard HTTP mode.

 

I created a self signed certificate (for testing purposes) for alextechstore.com . I want people to type www.alextechstore.com or alextechstore.com and have it automatically go to the catalog. However here is what happens -

 

Regardless of how they hit the site, they first get an SSL prompt which states (in addition to the unverified trust CA which I realize is because this is a selfsigned cert - I'm ignoring that error at the initial prompt) the machine name is wrong. That is strange because I get that regardless of whether or not I select www. or go straight in (without www).

 

Then, I get about 20 cert prompts - which say the machine name is correct (so they are prompting me for the Trusted CA). I suppose if I add my machine as the the trusted CA - that will go away - but I'm curious about why when I say Yes I accept it,I am prompted repeatedly again. From what I've read, this is all the images loading - however if I say yes I accept it, why am my re-prompted. The cert is the same.

 

 

Here are the particulars:

Any thoughts are appreciated - I have been working on this for 2 - 3 days and need to move forward to the contribs.

Are you using a redirect thats taking you from alextechstore.com to https://www.alextechstore.com/catalog. It looks like you need to remove the www on your redirect.
